Heh, I ended up doing the "digging" myself.   The quote came from this:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/89010/focus=89024

and "tried not to sound too negative" there refers to:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/89010/focus=89021

which _was_ about the "-Xtheirs", not "-s theirs".
